Could anyone tell me if an ID credit is denied during the Precertification Phase, can it be changed for the Design Review without having to Appeal?

We have had that before and the reviewer actually advised us to resubmit the ID credit with a different strategy. However this was a year ago and might have changed. Check to GBCI certification policy to be sure.

I guess this is v.3. If you go for the 2 phase reviews, I think anything beyond the Final Construction Review would require you an Appeal to try to earn more credit. If in case you choose to argue further for clarification, and you're close to getting the next cert. level or loosing the attempted level, bear in mind that it'll take another 15 working days of wait without guarantee of not going to an appeal. Ask for CIR on your particular credit as a back-up in case you really want the direction on the point your trying to get.
